Mysteri0us Suicide.

The news was circulated in Helena
yesterday that Cornelius Griswold. q
well known rancLman living near Boul-
der, had committed suicide at his ranch
A Boulder correspondent of the Indepen-
dent sends a brief note stating that Mr..
Griswold shot himself through the head
with Henry rifle. The other meagre
particulars ohtainable are to the effect
that Mr.. Grswold went out to the barn
yard to sell neighbor, Mr.. Hammer,
some hay. The latter then went after
his team and returned to find Griswold
dead near the hay stack surrounded by
the evidences of suicide. In his pocket
was note praying the forgiveness Of
God and bidding his wife farewell. A
coroners inquest was held, and ver-
dict in accordance with these facts re-
turned.
No motive for the suicide is assigned
The deceased was man worth $4,000
or more and IN situation to enjoy life
thoroughly. His first wife was the
divorced wife of John W. Granniss, Of
Shields River, Gallatin couty. She died
and about year ago he married lady
from jamestown, Dakota. They lived
happily together and there was no known
trouble in Griswold's life to induce him
to willfully take it. He leaves no chill.

Effect OF Hooking on Trout.

My experience and observation led me
to the conclusion that more than nine
out of every ten trout caught, particularly
with the fly, if carfully taken from the
hook so as to produce the least possible
laceration, and gently put back in the
stream will live. A large majority of
trout taken with fly are hooked
through the under jaw. The winged fly
and particularly those in which the
wings are so tied that they will spread or
be kept apart, ride upon or in the water
with the hook down, and thus are more
likely to hook the fish in the lower jaw.
Even hackles are more likely to ride
thus, as the weight Of the curved por-
ton of the hook, slight as it is, serves as
ballast and tends to keep the hook in
the same position. If the fish is hooked
through the brain of course it will die,
but as there is quite space between the
edge of the jaw and the brain the chances
are seven out of ten that the fish is not
fatally injured. I always watch for a
few moments the fish put back in the
water, and if it turns upon it's side or
shows signs of injury l reclaim it with
my landing net. Theinstances in which
reclamation is necessary are few, per-
haps one out oftwenty or thirty.-Aneli-

Encourage Men to Own Homes.


A mans first duties are to his family
and himself. The State should not make
those primary duties more difficulty by
taxing any of the neoessaries OF life. Ihe
necessity for the major portion of the
enormous revenue needed by govern
meut arises from vice and folly in their
various forms. The causes OF taxation
should bear the burden of taxation. All
public revenues should be drawn from
indirect taxes upon conduct and condl-

Land Surveys.

Surveyor General Greene says not a
single bid has yet been received for the
survey of the lands within the Northern
Pacific land grant limits in Missoula
county. The maximum prices permit
ted by the appropriation act are too
small to warrant any surveyor in under
taking the wo.k in that thickiy settled
and rough country. The period fixed
for the receipt of bids will expire on
Monday.
General Greene thinks the money
available-$15,O0 900 will thereafter be
assigned to the survey of agricultural
lands, applications for which from set
tiers are now very numerous. From the
numbers of applications being received
for the survey of agricultural lands, the
volume of settlement and occupation Of
farming country IN the territory must
be very large. The Flathead country in
Missoula county, seems especially to be
settling up very fast, and at both the
surveyor generals Office and the United
states land Office evidences of this rapid
settlement are being received. 1t Is
described as u very fine country-iine e
soil. fine climate and fair and abundant

New Governor for Warrington.

Eugene Semple has been appointed
governor of Washington Territory. This
sounds the official death knell of the last
Republican territorial governor. The re-
moval of Gov. W. c. Squire has been an
tit itipated for long time, but it has been
delayed to this time largely on the re-
csrd that Squire made in the Chinese
troubles at Seattle and Squak. Squire
was appointed July 2, 1884, and his term
consequently would not have expired
for over a year yet. Squire and Pierce of
Dakota were appointed on the same day.
Squire is said to have made an excellent
governor and has the appreciation of the
president and the people Of the Interior
department. Eugene semple. who sue
ceeds him, is well known citizen of
Washington Territory and was backed by
Voorhees,, delegate from that territory.
The appointment Of Daniel B. Shannon,
who succeeds Morgan as secretary of
Wyoming. completes the Democratic out
fit in that territory.

The Interstate law makes it nigh impos.
sible for these mine owners to transport
their output on wagons, as has been
done, and unless railroad can be built
these valuable properties must remain
idle. During the winter Helena was al
most entirely supplied with coal shipped
from these mines, which also supplied {
considerable amount to the railroad com
pany. We earnestly trust that the mine
owners of this district will present thei
case fully and speedily to the railroat
company. and in doing 80 they will Ger
tainly attain that which they desire, al
the railroad company will undoubtedly
find it to their advantage to tap this ricl

President Smith, of the Latter Day
Saints, in recent speech denounced po-
lygamy in such strong terms that he has
created sensation among the followers
of this faith. Should the Mormons OF
Utah think as does President Smith, the
Mormon problem will be settled as far as
the United States is concerned. Our con-
stitution grants religious liberty to all cit
izens, and as far as their religion is con.
cerned itself, the people have right to
worship as they may deem proper; but
it is polygamy that is obnoxious and it
must be wiped out If the Mormons
themselves conclude to do away with it,
so much the better.

The Reward Esr Harding.

The reward of al 900 ofttred by the
Governor for the capture Of che man who
held up the Glendale coach last May
and murdered the driver is now due,
Harding having been hung for the crime.
There are three men who claim the re-
ward-Mr. Shortsleeve, of Butte, Mr..
Mitchell, of Forest Glenn, Deer Lodge
county, and Mr.. Wright, of Butte. The
claim of shortsleeve is based upon the
fact that he arrested Harding. The other
two gentlemen, we believe, base their
claim upon trailing the robber and muir
derer. The Governor has the matter un-
der advisement and will render decision
and make the award on the Goth inst
Herald.

region, has written letter to Vice Presi.

failing to that gentleman the advantages

To this letter Mr.. Oakes replied that he
would investigate the matter and init
mates that if practicable, a branch rail-
road would be run to the mines. That
a road could be built at an ordinary ex-
pense over the gradual grade from the
Red House to the apex of the mountain

the general belief among the nina own
ers that from $50 to 800 tons of coal
could be delivered each day from the

left to stay. He says that Cleveland and

and that the Mugwumps are perfectly
satisfied with Mr.. Cleveland and that
the Democratic party cannot ignore him,
if he is not nominated it will be a con-
fession on the part of the Democracy
that its first national success in twenty
five years has been failure. In his opin-
ion Cleveland's election has done away
with the argument that the Democrats
were not fit to govern, and if there is
any opposition to Cleveland's recollection
in the Democratic party, the Mugwumps
can more than offset that opposition and
Cleyeland's reelection is in no way I'M
